Title: SLOWROLL ??
Post by: mousebob on October 29, 2010, 21:18:16 PM
FT small tenner rebuy comp at my local(ish) casino in Torquay.
3 places paid. 175/100/50...roughly. 7 players left. Blinds 300/600.
Player A (lag) utg 5,600 all in.
Player B (creative) button.C 12k. dwells, hollywoods, counts chips, studies sb & bb stacks (they have him covered)
& eventually calls.(1-2 minutes.)
Player A TT.
Player B AA.
Instant uproar from A  about B"s slowrolling.
Poker gods of course deliver 6789 to delighted cries of JUSTICE !!
The only question is
Was it a slowroll ??

Technically it"s not slow rolling as it"s all preflop, and some circumstances would require some consideration there - even with aces.

But it"s highly likely that it was effectively slow rolling.

An effort to get SB/BB to call or shove? If so he overplayed it a bit I think.

not a slowroll - looks like a bit of hollywood to get the SB or BB to come along.  This would only be a slowroll if he was last to act

this.

looks like Button was weighing up call or shove and maybe trying to get one of the blinds along for the ride..

I have been in a very similar situation in a £500 buy-in event where the short stack shoved and I had AA with the big stack still to act behind me.

He accused me of slow rolling too! (as he walked away)

As stated for the situation above I was trying to get a call from the player to act AFTER me so it wasn"t a slow roll in my book.

Never understood the idea of trying to bring other players into a hand when you"ve got AA with an All-in before you...unless the All-in guy is major short.  Aces against two other players is asking for twouble. 

May have been a slow roll and he had just assumed the blinds were folding.  I"m currently doing some research on slow-rolling in low buy-in comps and there"s been a 23% increase in this kind of behaviour over the past three years.  And a 13% increase in players not even doing it right.

Shocking really.

hi there..

this was a classic slowroll for sure.. i mean he could be an beginner that never played holdem before or just misread his holecards.. but thats very unlikely tough :D :D

slowroll back this player as often as you can!

Not a slowroll at all in my book. If he"s in the big blind then yes but with 2 players to act i"m doing exactly the same. I"m looking to get the SB or BB to come over the top.

Summed up well in this sentence : what should he do, insta jam and do a little boogie?   :)

Definately not a slowroll, merely trying to get the BB in the action, otherwise he would have pushed not called
